Use the initial term and the recursive formula to find an explicit formula for the sequence an. Write your answer in simplest fo

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$a_n = -11-14n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a_1 = -25$

$a_n = a_{n-1}-14$

Required

The explicit formula

First, calculate $a_2$

Set n=2; So:

$a_2 = a_{2-1}-14$

$a_2 = a_{1}-14$

Substitute -25 for $a_1$

$a_2 = -25-14$

$a_2 = -39$

Calculate the common difference (d)

$d = a_2 - a_1$

$d = -39 --25$

$d = -14$

So, the nth term is:

$a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$

$a_n = -25+ (n - 1)*-14$

Open bracket

$a_n = -25-14n + 14$

Collect like terms

$a_n = 14-25-14n$

$a_n = -11-14n$

A line that includes the point (-3,-4) and (-4,f ) has a slope of 6. What is the value of f?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

f = -10

( -3, -4) ( - 4 , -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

m =( y_2 - y_1)/(x _2 - x _1)

m = 6

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x _2 - x_1)

Substitute the points

( -3 , -4) ( -4 , f)

x_1 = -3

y_1 = -4

x_2 = -4

y_2 = f

Insert the values into

6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)

6 = (f - (-4))/ ( -4 - (-3)

6 = ( f + 4)/ ( -4 + 3)

Cross multiply

6 ( -4 + 3) = f + 4

6 ( -1) = f + 4

-6 = f + 4

-6 - 4 = f

f = -6 - 4

f = -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , f)

The value of f is -10

( -3 , -4) ( -3 , -10)

Once a week you babysit your neighbor’s toddler after school, usually going to a local playground. You notice that each swing on

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

3.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Time taken by each swing = 2.2 seconds

The pendulum formula is given by, $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32}}$ , where T is the time taken and L is the length of the swing.

So, we have,

$2.2= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{32}}$

i.e. $\frac{2.2}{2\pi}=\sqrt{\frac{L}{32}}$

i.e. $(\frac{2.2}{2\pi})^{2}=\frac{L}{32}$

i.e. $L=32\times (\frac{2.2}{2\pi})^{2}$

i.e. $L=32\times \frac{4.84}{4 \pi^2}$

i.e. $L=32\times \frac{1.21}{\pi^2}$

i.e. $L=\frac{38.72}{9.87}$

i.e. L = 3.923 units

So, rounded to tenths, the length of the swing is 3.9 units.
